"You have to think clearly. Even if you want to leave in this situation, it's impossible for everyone to leave. Only a group of Immortals with outstanding strength were able to escape with their lives in the end. Only True Immortals have the ability to bring everyone out of the pit. Even if they return, they will definitely be reprimanded by their sect. "
The Lotus Clone reminded, "If you want to leave, you have to do it in one go. Hesitating and dragging your feet will only bring disaster to everyone. "
"Think clearly. Until now, the Sect hasn't sent any more reinforcements. Either the other places are more important, or the Sect is unable to support them. No matter what, there's no need to defend this place. Even if we'll be punished when we return, it's better than losing our lives here. "Zhao Xiuyuan gritted his teeth.
"Since you've thought it through, go inform the other Immortals who are willing to leave. If they want to leave, they'll move together. If they don't want to leave, I'll find a chance to leave the stronghold." The Lotus Clone leisurely looked into the distance. Outside the stronghold, there was still an endless horde of scorpions. They had already abandoned the mine. It took them a lot of effort to fight their way out of the mine and meet up with the stronghold that was now under the control of Leiyinxianzong.
But this time, the ice scorpion demon outbreak was too fierce. It wasn't something that dozens or hundreds of Immortals could withstand. After meeting up with the people in the stronghold, they barely managed to resist until now. Even if the Lotus Clone repeatedly killed the ice scorpion leader, it couldn't change the tense situation. Every time, a new leader would appear. Of course, their previous efforts weren't completely useless. Killing some immortal-level ice scorpion demons could at least alleviate the pressure they had to bear.
After the Lotus Clone's Immortal Core Power recovered, it looked indifferently at the horde of scorpions outside the stronghold. It didn't show the slightest emotion because of the horde outside.
A moment later, Zhao Xiuyuan had already discussed with Leiyinxianzong and the others. Even Immortals were afraid of death. After cultivating to this level, how many of them were willing to give up all their previous efforts and die?
"Fellow Daoist Nameless, we've already discussed it. Other than a few fellow Daoists who want to bring their own direct descendants, we can't take care of the other cultivators below the Immortal level." Zhao Xiuyuan came to the side of the Lotus Clone and whispered.
"When are we leaving?"
"Since I've decided, I'll leave now." The Lotus Clone said, "Get ready. Later, open up the gap in the restriction and let some of the Ice Scorpions in. Let the scorpions see the hope of breaking through the immortal stronghold. At the same time, form a line of defense in the immortal stronghold. After attracting the attention of the Ice Scorpions, we will break through from another direction."
"Alright!" Zhao Xiuyuan nodded. Even though the current situation was critical, with this sword cultivator called Nameless here, it still made him feel somewhat at ease. At worst, they could abandon those low-level cultivators, and there was still hope for them to escape.
After the group of seventeen Immortals reached a consensus, the strength of the immortal stronghold began to quickly organize. Apart from four or five Grand Ascension Stage cultivators, the Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators followed the lotus avatar and broke out of the stronghold. Behind them, the thousands of cultivators and the two severely wounded immortals were separated by the encirclement of the ice scorpions.
"Bastards, these Immortals want to escape on their own!" Roars of despair erupted from within the immortal stronghold. Even though they were usually in awe of these Immortals, in this situation, the thousands of cultivators who were already exhausted from the long battle were unable to suppress the fury in their hearts. Without the support of the dozen or so Immortals, there was no suspense to their fate.
"Let's fight our way out as well!" In this desperate situation, the thousands of cultivators were naturally unwilling to be trapped here, and they also joined forces to advance in the direction of the dozen or so Immortals.
One after another, they plunged into the scorpion tide like two arrows. However, without the Immortals as the main force, the thousands of cultivators were able to advance for a while, but how could they compare to the speed of the lotus avatar and the twenty or so Immortals? There were many of them, but the thousands of cultivators who were surrounded by the scorpions were like trapped beasts, howling in despair and rage.
The Immortals looked back with lingering fear in their hearts. The thousands of cultivators were quickly dying, and there were Ice Scorpions everywhere. If they didn't escape, they would've suffered the same fate.
In this situation, no one pitied anyone. Those who weren't strong enough would only die.
Even though it was the Lotus Avatar, it only had a flying sword in its hand. It accurately killed every Ice Scorpion within a radius of over a thousand feet in front of it. The sword Qi was extremely condensed, without any fancy moves, and without the slightest bit of wasted movement.
In this situation, even the lotus avatar, a top Immortal sword cultivator, was trying its best to conserve energy. After all, there were still Immortal level Ice Scorpions in the scorpion tide, and they could pounce at any time to deal a fatal blow. There was no end to the Ice Scorpions.
With a whoosh, several Immortal level Ice Scorpions leaped out from the pile of corpses. Their similar auras gave them the best cover, and they were all prepared to deal the most fatal blow to the escaping Immortals.
"Fellow Daoist Nameless, seize the opportunity!" Zhao Xiuyuan roared, and six lightning bolts flew out from his palm, turning into six lightning balls in the void. The three Immortal level Ice Scorpions were affected by the lightning, and their movements inevitably became sluggish. For ordinary Immortals, it wasn't enough to change the situation much. However, after seeing the lotus avatar's methods, Zhao Xiuyuan knew that even a slight change was enough for the lotus avatar.
Zhao Xiuyuan's strength was also extremely strong. Among the many Immortals who came this time, his strength was only slightly weaker than Tu Xingyun. As for comparing him with the lotus avatar, Zhao Xiuyuan didn't know the exact difference between the two.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Xiuyuan attacked, three sword-wielding figures suddenly floated out from the lotus avatar's body, and swept past the three Immortal level Ice Scorpions and the lightning balls. Suddenly, several miserable screams sounded. Two of the Immortal level Ice Scorpions had huge holes in their bodies, and a large amount of ice energy uncontrollably leaked out. As for the other Immortal level Ice Scorpion, its body fell heavily and powerlessly to the ground.
Several other Immortals came forward at the right time, taking the place of Zhao Xiuyuan and the lotus avatar. In the group of more than a dozen Immortals, once they exhausted too much energy, they would retreat to the second line, and others would take their place to buy time to recover. This way, they could last for a long time.
However, the expressions of the Immortals who had rushed up suddenly froze. An icy storm swept over them like a tornado. And within that ice storm, dozens of Ice Scorpions with abnormally powerful auras came flying over. Their powerful auras weren't any weaker than these Immortals.
More than thirty Immortal level Ice Scorpions! At this moment, all the Immortals, including Zhao Xiuyuan, instantly turned pale. In their current situation, if there were only a few Immortal level Ice Scorpions, they could still fight their way out. But now there were so many of them, plus the surging scorpions, how many of them could escape?
